Sometimes, in a race, folks might not have evenly matched cars but still have to need to go out there and try to compete. In a situation like this, you will find that racers are willing to give up amounts of space, essentially giving another car a head start so that the race is a little bit more evenly matched. Nobody likes to watch a blowout and nobody like to be on the losing end of one, either.

Usually, the extent of this head start might be a couple of car lengths, but this time, it looks like the case is a little bit more drastic when this race goes down with a handicap that seems like it’s almost the entire length of the track and then some in favor of the slower machine!

Now, in a race like this, you would think that the deck is definitely stacked against the person who is not getting the head start but the car that starts from all the way back at the starting line is, in fact, fast enough to not only catch up to the other car but come around it easily as they get closer to the finish.

Check out the video below to see just how big of a leap was given here that doesn’t appear that the driver with the advantage was able to use to his favor to take home a victory. I’m not sure about you, but to me, this looks like it might be the ultimate case of bragging rights for the guy who managed to take home victory here.
